Hi Guys and Gals,
Here is something to pick your brains. This weekend I've replaced my clutch cable, bowden tube with all seals and etc. Pulled out throttle cable to relube, since I installed it on the road and didn't lube it, so i figured might as well while I am pulling the pedal assy for clutch cable. and throttle seemed to be sticking anyway. Finally got oil bath air cleaner installed to replace $10 pod filter. Also installed oil temp sender which goes into oil pressure relieve plug.
This is all the work that was done this weekend on the car, just to let you all know what has changed. So now I am experiencing slightly weird problem. If I give it more gas car accelerates really bad, I can just see and feel how it falls flat and looses speed. If I ease it on a little it accelerates fine, just slow getting up the speed. This was a case before, but not as bad and only when the car was cold. I do give it time to warm up. Hit the throttle pedal once before starting, and let it run till it get to 3k rpm then hit the throttle again and let it idle a bit. I have flaps and thermostat in place. Running svda dizzy with 34 pict 3 carb. It was all adjusted and timed at a reputable shop. Also carb was rebuilt recently ( very recently, under 1k miles) if I recall correctly it might be jetted a bit rich. But then again was running very good before this weekend.
Few things that come to mind are
- oil bath cleaner has too much oil? Never had one before, i might have over done it with the oil level. although i filled up between the bottom plate and the wider part of it.
- cleaner is bit too big (68 cleaner on 63) and hits the decklid. Which causes manifold to twist which creates vac leak at the dp castings. Those boots aren't exactly in the tip top shape.
What else am I missing that could be causing bad response?
Thanks as always,
Anton
